“When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming.” This is a quote that I personally live by. Pixar’s fifth feature film, Finding Nemo was released in theatres on May 30, 2003 and is one of the highest-grossing animated films to ever be created.

A hall of fame center with an outstanding nba career was Shaquille O’Neal. O’Neal had his struggles early on against other centers like Hakeem Olajuwon and Dikembe Mutombo but he would overcome it. From my research Shaq is the best center of all time. Shaq had a very dominant college career at LSU. He entered as

begin with, ever since I was a little kid, I’ve loved watching the Spurs games late at night with my dad. I remember shouting, “Go Timmy Go!” every time he made a basket. In my opinion, at age thirty-nine, he is still the most consistent player in the NBA player who everyday impresses others by what he still has left in the tank. But it wasn’t his athletic greatness that makes me want to meet him, his passion for the game and his all around humble personality is what truly leaves me in awe. He is a

From Division I to the pros, there are many great sporting events, but overall one reigns supreme. This is the men's NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) college basketball tournament, which includes a 68 team, single elimination, bracket style battle for the title of National Champion.

DRTG). However, the Bucks have maybe the best player in the series, the “Greek Freak” Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis is in the midst of a breakout season with crazy averages of 22.9 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 5.4 apg, 1.7 spg and 1.9 bpg (He is the first player in NBA history to finish top 20 in all major stats).

of trying to win a championship and an embarrassing 4-1 loss to Lebron James’ heat in 2012 James Harden made a grievous choice to leave the Oklahoma city Thunder. In every year since Harden has left Westbrook he has been an all star, made the all NBA first team three times and led the Houston Rockets to the 2nd seed in the Western conference all by himself.

The Cleveland Cavaliers completed the sweep of the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. It was tougher than a typical 1-8 match up, but I expected a young, inexperienced Detroit team to give it their all. Now, the Cavs have earned some rest as they wait to play the winner of the Atlanta-Boston series. While we wait, here 's a review of some areas Cleveland did well and some they could improve in.

We have learned ever since we were introduced to statistics that outliers don’t just fit in. In Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, these people gain a new definition: they do fit in.
